The mountain lion population in Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California has grown by three, but more importantly, those three kittens could be carrying some much-needed genetic diversity.
P-54, a three-year old female living in the Santa Monica Mountains, recently gave birth to a litter of kittens – males P-82 and P-83, and female P-84, according to National Park Service biologists. Researchers believe this is her first litter.
